It would be simple if mr jeff said 100% retro for all, but he is too smart for that. Jeff is offering pennies on the dollar so we can subsidize this contract. We are being played, again.

Show me where I'm arguing with you?!?! You expressed there is a "simple" way, and I'm (was) asking you for
your answer......TO what I got, "Obtuse"......Just about as clear as the original statement
Contrary to
your popular belief, I'm ASKING you to EXPLAIN your definition of "simple solution" regarding the topic, NOTHING more, NOTHING less. Reason being, as there have been more L-UA guys/gals flying through IAH, I've heard first hand several different "Simple Retro/Signing Solutions" ranging from A-Z while shooting idle time in the crew lounge.....thus asking you what your was. Nothing "cloaked" here.
???Capish???
If your apple-cart gets upset when being asked to explain 'something' you say, after throwing out a "vague/blanked response", I suggest being a bit more clear, or not getting your "pantalones" in a bunch when asked for clarification.
For the record, my stance ('defining' is the same) in figuring RETRO/SIGNING BONUS, or the new buzz-phrase "lump-sum" jives with yours. To "factor" straight off the W2 reports. The period to be factored would begin when the respective companies & their amendable dates per their CBA's "came and went". I agree that jEFF "let" the MEC's do his dirty work......"Here, you figure it out". It was HIS loan, now it's HIS work to 'pay it back' to us.
